Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Tahini & Paprika Hummus Chips

Now for the fun part, friends! Making these is almost like playing with clay.

We need patience here, especially with the rolling.

Follow these steps closely for the best result.

I promise the payoff is worth the effort.

Preparing the Hummus Chip Base

First, get your oven ready to go. Preheat it to 325\u00b0F (160\u00b0C).

Line two baking sheets. Use parchment paper on both sheets.

Grab a medium bowl for mixing everything up.

Combine your hummus, tahini, paprika, garlic powder, and salt well.

Stir it until it looks totally uniform and smooth.

Dollop this mixture onto just one of your prepared sheets.

Rolling and Scoring Your Baked Tahini & Paprika Hummus Chips

Drizzle that tablespoon of olive oil right over the top.

Now, spread the mix thinly and evenly across the paper.

This layer needs to be cracker-thin, truly flat.

Place the second piece of parchment paper on top.

Use your rolling pin now. Roll the hummus out very thin.

Aim for about 1/16 inch thick. Thinner means crispier chips.

Remove that top layer of paper carefully.

Score the dough into your desired chip shapes. Use a knife or cutter.

Do not cut all the way through the bottom layer.

The Double Bake for Ultimate Crunch in Your Baked Tahini & Paprika Hummus Chips

Bake the sheet for about 25 minutes first.

Watch the edges closely for any browning.

Carefully take the tray out of the hot oven.

This next part takes a little nerve, but you’ve got this!

Gently flip the entire sheet over onto the clean baking sheet.

Peel off the parchment paper that was underneath the chips.

Return the sheet to the oven now. Bake for 20 to 30 more minutes.

They should look deeply golden brown on the edges.

Let them cool completely on the tray first. They get crunchier as they cool down.

Finally, break your chips apart along those scored lines.

Tips for Success with Baked Tahini & Paprika Hummus Chips

Achieving that perfect snap takes a little know-how.

If your mix feels too sticky to roll smoothly, stop.

Pop the whole sheet into the fridge for fifteen minutes.

Chilling makes the dough handle so much better.

Jun always tells me to use firm, even pressure when rolling.

He says think of it like smoothing out clay for pottery.

For the best crunch, eat these chips the day you make them.

They absorb humidity quickly, losing their snap.

Want extra depth? Sprinkle more smoked paprika on top before baking.

Trust me, that extra dusting really wakes up the flavor.
